Care Applications Wins the National QIA Award Thanks to CLOSE-N® Technology

We are delighted to share exciting news. Romano Campese, CTO, and Carmina Ferri, CEO of Care Applications, received the National QIA Award last Monday 17th at the CSIC in Madrid, in the category Innovation in Microenterprises & Startups, thanks to our CLOSE-N® technology, supported by Rafael Escamillas and IVACE. We will proudly represent Spain in the international phase of the #QualityInnovationAward.

CLOSE-N® is a modular system that we customise and adapt to existing machinery to extend its useful life and make it more efficient. It enables dyeing processes in a controlled inert atmosphere (without oxygen, replaced by nitrogen) using reducing dyes, achieving:

Significant chemical savings
Higher process quality
Lower pollutant load in wastewater
A reduction in water consumption of 25% to 35%
